Digme Fitness was one of the first major gyms to switch its studios for the online sphere and offer a wide range of classes on IGTV in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.

Based in Covent Garden, the al fresco workouts comprise weekly HIIT and yoga classes, which are open to just five attendees per session. The classes are running from 21 July until 26 August, and those who take part will leave with a VIP goody bag filled with healthy treats.
